It’s unfortunate the arguments are in favor of oil, but they are true, those aren’t arguments the oil companies made through their bullshit mercenary scientific outfits, those are from real studies that have been made and reported on by real scientists and do gooders over the decades. And reported in real publications, from newspapers, back when those still existed, to periodicals.
The pesticides and fertilizers from corn are not something to slough off, it’s systematic pollution at this point, and they use more and worse chemicals for the stuff that’s not for human consumption.
A good share of corn is used to make ethanol, I don’t doubt they use the leftovers from that to make plastics, that’s exactly the problem it drives food prices up taking away agricultural land by subsidizing inefficient fuel production, started during the Bush Administration by the way, the ultimate whores to big oil.
Corn oil and syrup/sugar, is for human consumption, and included in what we call food. It’s also subsidized and driving bad outcomes but that’s another story. 5% of the continental united states is corn. 5% of the total land in the lower 48 is devoted to corn. Think about that. There is only one larger crop, grass. Worthless lawns, although Idk if that is measured in land coverage or weight of the product to be honest.
